On September 19th, 2026, Astronomy Day and International Observe the Moon Night will both be celebrated on the same incredible evening under the stars.

If you own a telescope, binoculars, or even just your eyes, this is your chance to give the gift of a shared view. Invite someone to look at the Moon for the first time. Moments like that can stay with people forever.

The Moon will be near first quarter phase, one of the best times to explore lunar craters, mountains, and shadow detail along the terminator.
